When I told him I made it for him, I could see pure happiness on his face. So that made me happy too! Not to mention, he gobbled most of it up on his own in three days. I did manage to get a few nibbles too, thank goodness I did when I did!

I made the easy Boston cream poke cake for him though, so by rights, he should get most of it, right?

I could argue…but sometimes it’s just better to let it go and move on like it never happened.

Boston Cream Poke Cake… It’s a very simple, luscious dessert. The best part besides eating it is it’s really hard to mess up this recipe because it’s super simple to make.

It takes a cake mix, pudding and frosting and we can’t forget the pokes. After all, it is a poke cake!

Combine chocolate and heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat for 2 minutes and stir. Heat for an additional 1-2 minutes or until chocolate is fully melted and whisk until well incorporated and velvety. Wait about 5-10 minutes before adding it top of pudding on cake.

The ganache will thicken as it cools. When it’s completely cool, it will be thick and fudgy. You can reheat it to achieve your desired consistency.

I have no idea why it would taste weird. It’s all ingredients from a cake mix and pudding box with ingredients you add with the exception of the ganache, unless you used pre-made frosting. Sorry it didn’t work out for you Peggy, but thanks for your feedback.
